Served blind, decanted for an hour, dark, guessing Burg, finessed, too rich & powerful for a Burg, Guigal La Mouline! Wow, concentrated but tannins are cashmere like, years left in the tank, in fact will get better, probably 3-5 yrs from its peak 95+

First Wednesday Wine Club Rhone Dinner (One Penny Red, Summer Hill): Volatile acidity dominates plummy fruit, savoury notes, black and green peppercorns, sweet spice though this isn't really a promising nose. In the mouth it's sour and volatile, metallic with sharp red fruits. FLAW
Ahh, La La! Removed from the cellar three hours in advance @ room temp. First pour had tight tart fruit on the nose. The second pour exploded with game funk. Aromas of dark cherries, leather, with a touch of Royal Crown Regal. The rest was smile after smile. Guigal at his best! In honor of the birth of Max, my second grandchild.

Incredible nose with smoke, spices, olives and black fruit. First a little tight, but opens up after an hour and is rich and full bodied with a long finish with great structure. Love the smokey nuances, but more power than finesse and complexity. A lot to like here.

Tighter and less generous than the '01 La Turque opened 2 days earlier
